While the statement is true, most of the headlines leave out the fact that Fort Sill, Oklahoma — which was temporarily repurposed in the 1940s as an internment camp — is, to this day, a fully operational Army base that has been in use since Maj. Gen. Philip H. Sheridan staked out the land in 1869.

The “former Japanese internment camp” is also just a U.S. Army base thats been continually operating since the 1860s. https://t.co/EHu7Si2jaO

1942: Fort Sill in Oklahoma holds 700 Japanese-Americans interned during World War II under a racist executive order.2019: Fort Sill in Oklahoma holds 1,400 migrant children kidnapped from their families by DHS at the border under a racist president. https://t.co/XNhBNVsKIP

A former Japanese internment camp now used to hold migrants. Hundreds forced for days into outdoor confinement with little protection against intense sun. Every Democratic presidential candidate should pledge to hold those responsible criminally accountable.

Families like mine still bear scars from the suffering they underwent in Japanese internment. Its immoral for our government to be doing this to children seeking asylum. Internment was a dark time in our history — we cant allow history to repeat itself. https://t.co/yguBv0gmWv
